They set up a badminton game on their side, and the birdie bonked our bus a couple of times, but heck, I remember being 13 and not exactly in control of the racket myself. Goofy

We have mostly retirees because we are in southern AZ and the "season" is winter with the snowbirds. We have no swimmingpool here so the competition catches most of the families in the summer. It's pretty peaceful from the standpoint of children on the loose.

The little ones who do come with gramps and grammy are usually very closely supervised. They are so fun to watch and talk to. We live in western town and little kids may have on shorts and a T-shirt with accessories of cowboy hat, sheriff's badge, gun and boots. They go around shooting at imaginary bad guys and occasionaly falling down dead in the dirt. Our other guests also enjoy these little creatures. All too soon they will grow into those noisy, messy, teenagers that everyone complains about.
